Amazing stay

This property was beautiful. It was in the perfect location to get to Glacier, Whitefish, and Kalispell. Sarah and Clay were great hosts and communication was easy, especially preparing for our trip. The house was very clean, sheets and bedding were so comfy, and they even had extra essentials if you forgot yours. We loved this place so much. It had amazing views and was the perfect place to relax and enjoy our wedding and honeymoon. If we were to ever return to Glacier we would absolutely stay here again!

Incredible Montana Stay - PERFECTION !!

This is the BEST rental property we have ever stayed at. The location is so convenient for adventures at Glacier National Park, with many restaurants and grocery stores only a short distance away. The property and home are gorgeous - such attention to detail, impeccable interior decorating, and beautiful outdoor landscape. The hosts (Sarah & Clay) are so welcoming, and really make their guests feel safe and “at home”. Of special note - the beds are super comfortable, the layout is open & airy, washer & dryer are awesome, and the dimmer switches throughout make for lovely ambiance. We are so glad we found this hidden gem in Montana. We hope to stay again at the Big Black Barn!!
Gorgeous view!!

The property was very clean and organized with everything we needed. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Owners were close by and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. Location is great, far enough away from traffic that easily driving distance for food and reaching West Glacier.

Slice of Heaven

One of the best places we've stayed using VRBO. Clean, peaceful and had anything we could possibly need to feel like home away from home. The bed was very comfortable, the water was warm and the location was perfectly nestled in open fields with gorgeous views of the ranges. We saw deer, geese and a fox. Very close to town and easy access to highways for GNP and Flathead Lake. We enjoyed just cruising down the dirt road alongside the farms. It was an experience that was gone too soon, but looking forward to having again in the future.

Great Location, Great Property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "Big Black Barn". The location was perfect for exploring West Glacier N.P. and we had convenient access to Columbia Falls for shopping and restaurants. The Browns have created a very comfortable home-away-from-home with this property - very clean & well-maintained with modern appointments and comfortable beds. We can truthfully say that this was one of the best equipped properties we have rented - from kitchen supplies to a well stocked first-aid closet (including bear spray to use while exploring the park). There is even a private, wood burning fire pit area complete with all the fixin's for s'mores! We would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved the location of this property. We felt like we were in the center of everything. The property was very beautiful and very clean. The owners responded quickly when asked questions. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends. Also, the beds were comfortable and there were many details that were well thought out. The lighting in the property was fantastic. They had fans in both of the rooms and the kitchen was fully stocked if you wanted to make meals. They also had a fire pit and grill for use. The place was also stocked with paper items, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, spices, and laundry detergent. We would definitely stay there again friends

This VRBO was recommended to us from a friend that had stayed here. We were more than happy with the accommodations; they exceeded our expectations! The property is beautiful. The interior is decorated so nice, and we felt right at home upon entering. The space is cleaner than any VRBO we have stayed at. Unfortunately, we had a family emergency and had to leave early. Sarah, the host was so understanding and helpful! We have already booked a stay to return and enjoy this delightful VRBO. Don't hesitate, book this VRBO now, you will not regret it!!

During our recent stay at the Mountain View Retreat, we were enchanted by its delightful charm and peaceful ambiance. Situated in a serene country setting, this retreat offers a harmonious blend of comfort and tranquility. From the moment of our arrival, we were greeted by breathtaking mountain views that enveloped the property. The thoughtful layout of the facility created a warm and inviting space that truly felt like a home away from home. The Mountain View Retreat was equipped with an array of amenities that catered to our every need and more. Whether we were savoring a cup of coffee while admiring the stunning mountain scenery, relaxing in the spacious living area, or enjoying a cozy evening by the firepit in the beautifully landscaped yard, each moment was a pure joy. What truly set our experience apart was the exceptional hospitality provided by the hosts. Their meticulous attention to detail and genuine warmth made our stay truly memorable. From helpful local tips to ensuring our check-in was seamless, they went above and beyond to make us feel not just welcomed but cherished. For travelers seeking a serene escape from the daily hustle, the Mountain View Retreat is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

Perfect choice for our trip!

Having never been to Montana before, I feel so lucky to have discovered this property. It is the perfect location to make a base. We went to Whitefish, Glacier National Park (several times) and also down to Big Fork. Each was such an easy drive. The house had everything for me and my teen boys. Actually it was stocked with more than we could ask for from cooking spices & kitchen supplies to laundry detergent and even robes and lavender linen spray!!! The house is designed so beautifully and tbeds and pillows were so comfortable. Sarah and Clay have thought of everything and are so nice and helpful. You won’t regret booking the Big Black Barn!

Best rental property we have EVER stayed in!!!

The Black Barn was absolutely fabulous! Everything was so new and clean and spacious. The beds and pillows were amazing, plus the host had everything we needed and they thought of everything. Great location for us, as we went to Glacier National Park each day. Plus close to restaurants and stores, but away enough to feel secluded. HIGHLY recommend this property and we plan to come back again.
